Derrick in Eugene, is stepping to a new rhythm! And it takes a lot of air to keep in step. He's still a kid but growing up fast! So fast he almost needs new shoes before he gets home from the shoe store! But someone at school invited him to check out the Jr. High band. So he did and as he looked and thought, he spied the biggest and baddest horn setting in the corner. Nobody wanted this ugly horn and it looked like hard work to carry this around especially if you were in marching band. Not for Derrick that big horn looked like a challenge so he tried out. He blew and blew a bunch of air notes but finally hit a C double flat! At least it was a note! The more he blew, the more he knew that horn was for him!
He's been at it for over a year and he's now performing in several orchestras, one an all tuba orchestra that includes all ages, Derrick being the youngest! Can you imagine 30 tuba's performing a Christmas Concert?
